Funded solely on donations, the group provides medical care – including spaying and neutering – food, and shelter and foster homes for the animals. Ultimately, the goal is adoption for each animal, after they are spayed/neutered, have up-to-date on shots, and are approved as healthy by a vet.For more information, visit www.capefearrl.blogspot.com.
